ROAD CLOSED FOR A MONTH ON AC COUNT WASHOUT Burlington Hard Hit by Wyoming Flood Park Tourist Business Is At Its Height. The central Wyoming line of the Turlington may be closed by flood damage until after the middle of Au gust. That probability is indicated in a statement issued by the passen ger department of the road placing an embargo on business to Bonne ville, lioyson, Dornick, Emery, Ly site, Madden, Minnesota and Schoen ing. These towns are all between Casper and Thermopolis. The pas senger department says service to these towns may not be re-established for 30 days. This break coming at the height of the park tourist business has made neressary a great many detours for railroad passengers. The company is now handling all of the park busi ness in both directions by way of the old line, via Sheridan. Every effort is being made to minimize inconven ience to passengers. The greatest damage done at any one place wa3 at Bonneville. There the flood from the Badwater river covered the railroad property. The railroad buildings remained on their lit WV $" MRS. T. C. M'CARTY Hemstitching and Picot Edging N. 4th St., Plattsmouth PHONE 100-J TTraT .T..T.T r....,-.......... foundations but box cars, way cars, side track and other property were swept into the river. The greatest damage from the flood was aiong the Badwater, altho considerable damage to track and bridges occurred along the Bis Horn to the north of Bonne ville. At one place in the canyon of the Big Horn river the grade was washed away wider than the track and the track was left suspended twenty feet above the river. There was practically no damage reported north of Thermopolis. Vice President E. P. Bracken, in charge of the operation of the rail road, arrived in the flood territory Friday. No attempt has been made to esti mate the amount of damage done to the railroad in money. The number of bridges washed out Is not great, and reports indicate that most of the steel bridges withstood the stress. She greatest damage is to washed away grades and damaged fills. Re ports show that not less than twenty washouts were reported by track in spectors. Some of these were of but a few feet in extent, while others re ported the track out for great dis tances. Railroad reports show little or no damage at Thermopolis to rail road property but considerable dam age was done at Minnesota, the first station south of that place. Track is damaged and bridges weakened along a stretch of line covering sixty miles or more between Arminto and Thermopolis.

SHOWING IMPEOVEMENT From Saturday's Dally. . George W. Snyder, one of the old residents of this locality and as well one of the most genial and whole- souled gentlemen in the county, was in the city for a few hours today from his home west of Mynard. Mr. Snyder is still feeling the effects of his recent operation which he un derwent at Kansas City for a very severe case of hernia but is able to be around with the assistance of a cane hut as yet cannot do his usual share of the farm work andwhich goes very much against the grain as he chafes under the enforced idle ness.

Ezra Meeker, 93, author of "Ox Team Days on the Oregon Trail" and many other books of frontier days, arrived in Omaha yesterday on his fifth trip over the Oregon trail. Mr. Meeker crossed the Missouri river at Bellevue May IS, 1852, in a covered wagon drawn by a team of oxen. He was on his way then i from his birthplace in Ohio to the Oregon country, where he became a founder of the state ot Washington and a constructive pioneer. He has traversed the same trail three times since in the same covered wagon, the last two times to urge the erection of granite monuments along the old gateway to the Oregon country. He was successful in this enterprise. This time the trip is being made by rail to pick out suitable locations for "shooting" movies for use in a picture, which is being produced by the Pioneers of America, Inc., of which Mr. Meeker is the president. Mr? Meeker also plans to raise money along the trail with which to pro duce the picture. The picture, in which the old pio neer will play a promnent role, will be a true love story, based on the life of Mrs. Narcissus Whitman, who was United States Leoding Nations in Consumption of Narcotics, Ac cording to Department. The alarming quantity of narcotics being consumed in the United States is brought out in a bulletin issued by Dr. Chauncey F. Chapman, superin tendent of health at Lincoln. When reminded that many people believe that the use of drugs has increased since the adoption of prohibition in this country, Dr. Chapman refused to give his opinion. , The bulletin: "Drug addictions are fast on the increase in this country. Forty times more of habit forming drugs are consumed in America per capita than any other white nation. Three times the amount of habit forming drugs are being used now compared with three years ago. "According to Dr. Frederick A. Wallis. commissioner of correction, Xew York city, the amount of opi um used by the leading nations of the world is as follows: Annual per capita consumption, Italy, 1 grain; Germany, 2 grains; England, 3 grains; France. 4 grains, and in the United States, which does not grow the commercial poppy plant at all, uses 36 grains per capita per annum.

Last night Charles S. Johnson, yardmaster of the Burlington here, suffered quite a severe attack of stomach trouble and his condition for a time seemed quite serious, but Mr. Johnson was feeling much bet ter this morning and within a short time expects to be back on the job of assisting in handling traffic in the local railroad yards. Mr. Johnson has not been in the most rugged health the last few years and the first reports of his sickness greatly alarmed his friends.

HARVEST WORK IS NOW IN THE THRESHING STAGE The farmers in this locality are now busy in their tlireshing and the wheat crop of the county is going to be far below the usual average from the reports made by the different farmers as the yield of wheat seems to run from sixteen to as low as eight bushels, and those who have kent in touch with the threshing over the country are of the opinion that yield will show an average of close to ten bushels per acre and not varv ereatly from this figure. The Hessian fly and the very wet eason of the late spring are the reasons given by the farmers for the great falling off in the yield of the wheat for the year. With these con ditions prevailing the price of wheat has reached a very low figure, whicn is unusual as the shortage usually leads to a sham advance in the price.
